Easy...send the $2000 to everyone then take it back on 2021 taxes for income over some amount (75k?). So basically a tax free loan to people that...
I side with the players. The owners can make up their loss when they sell for 5x what they paid. The players don't get any of that equity. I...
Why not just forgive all interest? And reset all rates to ~inflation levels or slightly higher moving forward.
Also sounds like Cora and the Red Sox are next...
agreed but I'm not convinced that Nick Martin doesn't share some of the blame because it's not just Tunsil.
As Free Agency opens what I'd like to see: SP: Kyle Gibson RP: Drew Pomeranz, Colin McHugh, Brandon Morrow Catcher: Yasmani Grandal, Alex Avila...
Pomeranz is intriguing based on his results as a reliever this season.
If Crane is willing to pay a little tax, the Astros are in a great position. A lot of good 2nd and 3rd tier starter, reliever, and catcher options.
Embarrassing showing from the Cards.
If I'm Houston I don't want to give him an opt out that soon. Part of the rational for paying the huge salary and tax is so Cole can anchor the...
If you hypothetically sign all arb, spend $40M on Cole, Chirinos, and Maldanado, and trade Reddick you would end up with a team salary of ~$235-240M.
Pay him. Pay tax in 2020 and 2021 then back under threshold in 2022 when Verlander and Greinke come off the books. Manage amount of tax by...
Why can't Carter catch a punt rather than let it bounce every time?
MLB needs to start calling runners safe when plates (2nd base as well) are blocked before balls are received.
1. Springer 2. Bregman 3. Altuve 4. Brantley 5. Correa 6. Alvarez 7. Gurriel 8. Chirinos 9. Reddick Bench: Diaz, Marisnick, Stassi/Stubbs
And reversing the estate tax repeal with a much more aggressive sliding scale/loop hole elimination as you go up in inheritance.
Really screwed the pooch in 2017. Could have franchised/re-signed Bouye or signed Stephon Gilmore.
Making relievers face min 3 batters or end the inning would be the biggest pace of play benefit to me with no need for a clock.
Could go QO crazy for one year and sign Pollock and Grandal. That'd be interesting. Then DH would be a revolving door.
3) Who is our backup CF when George is hurt or needs a day off?
